"There you are pup!" Sirius said hugging Harry. Ginny walked up to Sirius as well. "Ah you must be Ginny. Harry has told me so much about you," Sirius said while winking.
"Really, good things I hope," she said with a smirk.
Sirius gave out a bark like laugh. His face was still sunken in but his eyes seemed full of life. "Of course they were good things."
They pulled Sirius over to Molly and Arthur. "Mum, Dad, this is Sirius Black, Harry's godfather."
The Weasleys' smiled. "Hello Sirius, Gideon and Fabian spoke highly of you." Molly said
Sirius nodded as he shook their hands. "I'm sorry that they did not make it through the war."
Harry and Ginny wandered off to a bench and sat down.
'Gideon and Fabian?' Harry thought.
Ginny looked at the floor sadly, 'They were my mum's older brothers. They died during the war.'
'Oh, I'm so sorry.' Harry thought.
'It's okay Harry you didn't know.' Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him close.
'Still I always wondered if you had uncles.' Harry thought quietly.
'We don't like mentioning them. Mum usually gets really upset.' She snuggled into his neck.
'Oh, well then I won't bring them up,' Harry thought.
'It's okay sweetie,' Ginny snuggled even closer.
'Still we should get going soon their getting suspicious.' Harry thought as he looked down at her.
Ginny looked at him glumly. "Okay..." she whispered.
"If you're ready that is." Harry said.
'I'm ready Harry. I'm just so comfy now though.' she snuggled more into his neck and chest.
'Then it can wait.' Harry said.
Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny and they both closed their eyes. Sirius silently strode behind them. "Aren't you two much too young to be acting like this?" he whispered into their ears. They jumped about a foot in the air.
"Sirius! Don't do that." Harry said breathing hard.
"I'm sorry pup I couldn't resist. I always got your old man like that too." He gave out another bark like laugh before turning to Ginny. "I think you should say goodbye to your Mum. You should also say goodbye Harry."
"Okay let's go." Harry said nervously.
Harry and Ginny walked to Mrs. Weasley who instantly brought them both into a hug. "I'm going to miss you so much Ginny," she whispered while giving her a kiss. "Harry, you are going to be thirteen soon. Please behave yourself around my daughter."
Harry's face grew red as he looked at Mrs. Weasley. "Mum stop it," Ginny muttered while her face grew red.
Sirius approached and put an arm on Harry and Ginny's shoulders. "Don't worry Molly, Dumbledore will be making sure Ginny catches up on her school work." He leaned in and silently added, "And I will make sure Mr. Potter here is kept in line. I remember how hard it was for James to stay away from Lily. He bugged her for years before she even considered dating him."
"Thank you Sirius please help them stay safe." Molly said
"Don't worry I will keep them safe. Lily and James did entrust Harry with me in case anything happened and I have twelve years to make up for." Sirius held their shoulders firmly. "I think it is time that we went home," he whispered. They apparated to Potter Estate.
Ron approached his mother, "Mum if Ginny is learning from Professor Dumbledore how come that man took her and Harry away. He was Sirius Black wasn't he?"
"Yes Ron he was and he's taking her straight to Dumbledore. As for Harry he recently had some family issues so he's going to work things out with Albus."
"Harry never told me he had family problems," Ron whispered looking hurt.
"It was a fairly recent issue Ronald." She said
"Still it would be nice if he told me," Ron said as he followed his family out of the station.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Sirius grinned as they arrived at the estate. "This brings back memories," he whispered quietly. Dumbledore was waiting by the gates unable to enter yet.
"Ah, there you all are." Dumbledore said.
"Sorry for the wait Dumbledore. We got caught up talking to Molly. She just wanted to make sure her little girl was safe." Sirius ruffled Ginny's hair and the top of her hair looked like Harry's.
"Of course well we have a ritual to perform." Dumbledore said.
"Professor what happens during the ritual?" Harry asked as he approached the gates. They opened when he touched them again.
"You officially make Sirius your secret keeper."
"What happens after that sir?" Harry was expecting chanting and candles. The thought caused Ginny to burst into laughter.
'What?' Harry asked through the bond.
'Your thought of what was supposed to happen... Witches and Wizards don't chant like that,' she thought back while Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"I believe we should get started. Sirius are you ready?" Dumbledore turned to Sirius who gave a nod.
"Yes sir I am." Sirius said with confidence and pride.
"Now Harry are you ready?"
"Yes sir," he looked at Ginny. "We both are ready."
Dumbledore began to make complex wand movements and ruin symbols appeared floating in the air.
"Repeat after me please."
Harry and Sirius joined hands as they looked at the house. Dumbledore tapped their hands with his wand then pointed it towards the house, "I, Harry James Potter, owner of Potter Estate entrust Sirius Black with the secret of its location."
Harry repeated as an aura fell upon the house. Dumbledore repeated the motions again. "I, Sirius Black, will keep the secret of Potter Estate unless advised to disclose the information." Sirius repeated as well and a shimmering light appeared around the house.
"So mote it be." They all said
The glow around the house turned blue and then faded and Harry felt drained.
Ginny rushed to his side and helped him stand upright. "Is he okay Professor?"
Dumbledore nodded, "he used a lot of magic just now. In a few hours he will be fully better. Now I must intrude upon the both of you and ask for a drop of blood from each of you. This is the final ward that I would like to erect and it will be the most powerful."
"Okay." Harry said standing up dazed
Dumbledore twirled his wand and two small vials appeared. He pricked Harry and Ginny's fingers and vanished the vials. "I shall finish the warding later but for now let's get you all some food."
"Yes I'm starving!" Sirius said
"Well Harry lead the way," Dumbledore said with a smile.
Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry supportingly and helped him enter the house. As soon as the door opened candles began to ignite and illuminate the room. The entrance hall of the house was enormous. Gryffindor drapes lined the windows. 'Oh wow Harry,' Ginny thought.
"I know it's huge." Harry said out loud as they entered
Sirius strode in quietly. "The last time I was in here was when your grandparents were alive..." his eyes were full of emotion.
With a sharp crack about thirty house elves appeared and bowed. "Welcome home Mr. and Mrs. Potter," they said in unison.
"Who are you?' Harry asked reminded of Dobby
"I am Millie Master Potter, the head house elf. I have served the owners of this house for generations." Millie looked up and saw Sirius, "Mister Black is here. Does that mean Mister Lupin is here too?"
"Who is Lupin?" Harry asked.
Sirius' jaw dropped "Harry you really never knew about any of us not even a little?" He asked
Harry shook his head, "I never knew that I was a wizard until I was eleven. The Dursley's never told me and had not planned on doing so. To them I was nothing more than a slave and a freak."
Ginny moved closer to Harry as he spoke and pulled him into her arms. She ran her hand soothingly through his hair.
"What!? Albus you sent him to those...those things!" Sirius asked horrified.
Dumbledore nodded gravely, "I thought that he would be safest in the muggle world. I did not expect him to be so abused though. It was a grave mistake on my part."
Sirius paced back and forth until he heard his stomach growl harshly.
"We will talk about this later." Sirius said.
Dumbledore nodded. "Harry I believe you should ask your house elves to cook. They are awaiting orders from you or Ginny."
Harry looked up in surprise. "What oh... okay. Umm Millie, could you all make lunch for the four of us. And you have permission to obey Sirius and Professor Dumbledore as well. I do not wish to be cruel to you and I hope we can be friends."
"Oh yes sirs and Mrs. we shall get to it right away." She said happily.
Harry turned back to Sirius. "Who is Lupin?" he asked again.
"Remus Lupin he's one of my best friends one of your fathers as well." Sirius said.
Harry looked happily towards Ginny, 'I wonder what he is like.'
"I wonder if he would want to meet me," Harry whispered.
"Are you kidding he would be thrilled!" Sirius said.
Dumbledore smiled, "I think I can contact him again. It would be good for you to become acquainted with your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
'Gin, what do you want to do now? We have the whole house to ourselves basically,' Harry thought while giving her a sly grin.
'Let's have a look around alone.' She thought blushing slightly.
While Sirius and Dumbledore continued to talk Harry and Ginny snuck up the giant staircase. They climbed all the way to the top floor and found a single door in front of them. They opened the door slowly and gasped at what was inside. It was a huge master bedroom. A fluffy king sized bed was at the opposite end of the room. On either side of the room was bathrooms and there was a small study connected to it as well.
'Ginny I think I found our bedroom,' Harry thought as they sat on the bed.
'I think you're right' She thought looking the bathroom.
"Harry it's like a pool in here!" She gasped out
Harry looked over, "Blimey, I think it may as well be one."
"Percy said the prefect's bathroom is a lot like this." Ginny said
"Man they are lucky," Harry said as he playfully pushed her into the water.
Ginny grabbed him and pulled him in.
"Turnabout is fair play." She said smirking.
He splashed her as he dove under water. 'Catch me if you can,' he thought while swimming a few feet away.
'Get back here!' She thought going after him
Harry grabbed her and swam to the surface. 'You win sweetie,' he thought as he kissed her cheek.
'I always win.' she thought smugly
'Yes you do Ginny,' he thought while pulling her into an embrace.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a voice called out causing the two to look up in shock.
Sirius gave his bark of a laugh, "Little pup you really do look like a wet dog now." He transformed into a large black dog and jumped into the water.
"Sirius!" They shouted together as the dog started to lick them both.
They climbed out of the water and Sirius followed. He shook himself dry while spraying water everywhere.
"I think you two should change out of the wet clothes," Sirius said. "And when I say change I mean alone," he added as an afterthought.
They blushed and nodded.
"You can have the bathroom Ginny." Harry said
Sirius and Harry walked out of the bathroom as a house elf appeared with clothes for Ginny.
"Harry you need to be careful. I know you are only twelve right now but still." Sirius gave Harry a serious look before smiling, "So pup I have an offer for you. It will require a lot of training and may take a few years to complete. You will need to be dedicated and not get easily distracted by a certain red head. Think of it as me trying to slowly make up for twelve years of not being by your side.
"What?" Harry asked excitedly.
"I could teach you to be like me, an animagus." Sirius whispered. "You're father and I learned to become one for Remus Lupin and I think he will appreciate someone helping him again."
"I would love to do that!" Harry said
Sirius chuckled as Ginny exited the bathroom. "Your turn Harry," she said while smiling.
Harry walked in and a house elf appeared with warm dry clothes
"Thank you," he said appreciatively and began to change.
"So Sirius you are going to teach Harry to become an animagus?" Ginny questioned.
"Wait, how did you know that?" Sirius asked
Ginny grinned widely, "I heard you through Harry's mind. I believe you also said not to get 'distracted by a certain red head.'" Ginny folded her arms over her chest.
"I well… that is to say…" Sirius stammered this girl made him nervous like Lily used to..
Ginny put her hands on her hips and looked into Sirius' eyes, "I will not be a distraction to Harry."
In the bathroom Harry was chuckling to himself as he watched the scene through Ginny's eyes. 'Sirius looks like he is going to pee himself Gin,' he thought quietly.
'I know and I'm enjoying it.' She thought back.
'Okay Ginny I'll let you continue having fun,' Harry took his time and slowly changed.
"You are going to teach me also Sirius," Ginny said while giving him a fiery look.
"Are you sure you want to learn?" He asked.
"I'm sure. If Harry is going to learn I will too." Ginny's tone told Sirius that arguing would be useless.
"Well alright…" Sirius sighed he had wanted to do something with just Harry.
Ginny's face lightened up and she grinned, "Thanks Uncle Sirius."
"No problem Mrs. Potter." He replied coolly.
Ginny blushed completely red. She was about to speak but instead ran up to Sirius and hugged him.
"No fair you can't use hugs against me." Sirius said
Ginny grinned, "I believe I just did so obviously I can."
Harry left the bathroom and joined in the hug as well.
"You two do not fight fair." Sirius said.
"I never said I would," Harry pointed out as he let go of his godfather. "When can we start learning?"
"As soon as the revealer potion is ready so about a month." Sirius said.
"What do we do until then?" Ginny asked.
"We relax." Sirius said simply.
"On the contrary Sirius," Dumbledore said from the door way.
"No relaxation?" Harry asked
"I'm afraid not Harry. If Ginevra wants to be put into your grade we will need to begin school work starting tomorrow." Dumbledore calmly stated.
"No relaxation at all?" Harry asked
Dumbledore chuckled, "you will be able to relax on weekends and when you are not studying."
"Well I guess that's better than my last summers..." Harry said thinking about his time with the Dursley's
Ginny watched through his mind as he began to think of the Dursleys. 'Don't think of those times Harry. I'm here with you this time so it will be better.'
'I know it's just too many bad memories to ignore' Harry bitterly thought.
Ginny smiled, 'Then I guess it is up to me to replace those memories with better ones.'
Harry smiled. "Thank you Ginny." He said out loud
Dumbledore and Sirius gave the two of them a look. "Anything you would like to share with us?" asked Dumbledore.
"I just have never had a good summer before this." Harry said
Sirius looked outraged by this, "Those damn Dursleys! If I ever see them I will show them how much..."
"Sirius ENOUGH!" Dumbledore said firmly. "Don't worry Harry we will try to make this summer quite enjoyable. Now I believe our lunch should be ready."
Sure enough just then Millie popped in. "Lunch is ready sirs and Mrs." She said bowing
They went back to the first floor and entered a marvelous kitchen. Every single pot and pan was polished. The table was made of solid mahogany and looked like it was just polished. On the table sat two whole chickens, a pot of baked potato soup, and two loaves of bread.
"Wow they really pulled out all the stops." Sirius said as they sat down in comfortable squashy red chairs.
"This is amazing," Harry whispered.
A house elf appeared next to Harry, "Thank you young master."
Harry stiffened, "please just call me Harry."
"Yes Master Harry." The house elf said.
"No, just Harry no master..." Harry said
The house elf bowed, "You is much too kind."
They ate happily after that and soon dessert was served. It was treacle tart, Harry's favorite.
"How did they know my favorite," Harry asked out loud.
Sirius laughed, "They didn't Harry. This was your father's favorite dessert."
Harry beamed happily at the thought of being similar to his dad. He looked at his hand and realized that his father's ring was on it and Ginny had his mom's ring on. 'I guess the elves left it on the pile of clothes,' he thought to himself.
'I don't think we took them off.' Ginny thought.
Harry shook his head, 'I thought we took them off before we got back to Hogwarts. They would have caused too much attention.' He looked at his hand again and noticed a shimmer around the ring. It began to fade away the more Harry thought about hiding the ring.
'Did you see that?' Harry thought as his ring appeared again
Ginny stared at her hand too and noticed the same thing. 'That's convenient,' she thought as she made the ring reappear.
'Very' Harry thought.
"Will you two stop having those silent conversations?" Sirius asked.
They both looked up at Sirius surprised. "Were sorry we didn't know we were doing it," they said in unison.
"That was just weird." Sirius thought.
"So professor what will we be learning over the summer?" Harry asked as Ginny sat on his lap. Sirius shot them a look but then turned away.
"Harry you will be helping me teach Mrs. Potter everything you learned this last year."
Harry looked up surprised. "Professor I can't possibly teach Ginny. I'm not that good in school myself, especially in potions.'
"Harry I have faith in you and you have the second highest Transfiguration and Charms marks in your year as well as the highest DADA marks."
Harry blushed furiously, "thank you sir." He looked at Sirius curiously.
'Well I guess I have to call you Professor Potter now,' Ginny thought to him. 'I wonder what type of detentions you would give me if I were to... misbehave.'
Harry turned bright red and Sirius laughed. "I don't know what she said, but I like her." Sirius said.
Harry shot Sirius a look before breaking into laughter. "When can we see Mr. Lupin?" he asked after he stopped laughing.
"After Ginny's lessons tomorrow." Dumbledore answered quickly.
Harry smiled but Sirius looked at Dumbledore. "Tomorrow may not work Dumbledore. It may be too late at night." Sirius emphasized the last word and looked hard at Dumbledore.
"Oh is tomorrow that day?" Dumbledore asked
Sirius nodded, "Can you tell me where he is? I would like to be there with him."
Harry gave them both a quizzical look. "What is going on?" he asked simply.
"Mr. Lupin has a problem that he has to deal with before he can see us." Dumbledore said
"Is he okay sir?" Ginny asked quietly.
"Yes it just needs to pass is all." Sirius said
Ginny and Harry nodded silently. 'They are hiding something Gin.'
'I know, but what could it be?'
'I don't know but we will find out eventually. So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?'
'We never really looked at the rest of the house.' Harry thought
'That is true. It is so big though. It will take days to finish exploring,' Ginny replied.
"Can you two please speak to each other for once. It creeps me out," Sirius said as he watched the two.
"Sorry we never notice." Harry said.
"I'm not angry. It's just frustrating not knowing what is going on." Sirius looked at Dumbledore, "I'm sure Albus knows what is going on since he can enter people's minds though."
"I actually cannot touch their minds." Dumbledore admitted.
Sirius looked surprised, "Is this from the bond too?"
Dumbledore nodded. "Their minds are impenetrable."
"That is so unfair," Sirius groaned.
Harry and Ginny laughed.
"Don't worry Sirius it isn't so bad." Harry said.
"It just that whatever you say to one of us you say to the other," Ginny added.
"So to surprise one of you I have to surprise both?" He asked carefully
Harry's grin was wiped from his face. "I never considered that..." he whispered as he eyes his godfather fearfully. He had heard how much of a prankster he was back in Hogwarts.
"It's alright I just have to try harder."
Harry looked at Ginny nervously as he pulled her closer.
"Yes Harry be afraid." Sirius said gleefully.
Ginny held Harry protectively. "Make one move on him and I will Bat-Bogey you to oblivion Uncle Sirius," she said determinedly.
"I've faced worse." Sirius said
"And what would you consider worse?" Ginny asked while stroking Harry's hair.
"Lily had some impressive charms." Sirius said
"I'll have to learn more than her then," Ginny simply said.
"Good luck." Sirius said.
"I wonder how Mum, and the others are," Ginny said suddenly as tears welled up in her eyes.
"We could go see them." Harry said
"They don't know you are with me though. Only Mum and Dad do." Ginny looked down sadly as she cried softly.
"Then we have the excuse of I volunteered to help you as well."
Sirius nodded, "I could accompany you two as well. That is if Albus approves."
"I see no problem there." Dumbledore said
"When would you want to leave Ginny," Sirius asked and then noticed something else. "Wait let me see your hands. I just saw your rings on them a minute ago and now they aren't there."
They held out their hands and the rings appeared
Sirius fell out of his chair, "how did you two do that!"
"We aren't sure we just think it and they disappear." Harry said
Dumbledore smiled, "Lily and James cast a spell on their rings once they got them. I never knew why but it seems to aid us in our situation now."
"Always thinking ahead." Sirius said
"It would seem so." Dumbledore nodded approvingly.
"Sirius we're ready to go when you are," Ginny said.
"Then let's get outside the wards."
They rose from the table and made their way outside. Sirius turned towards Millie, "Please have dinner ready for when we return."
'Ginny it will be okay,' Harry thought when he felt her anxiety. 'We may have to be separated for a little bit though.'
"Sirius before we leave, can you tell Mr. and Mrs. Weasley where we are?" Harry asked.
"Yes I can tell them exactly where to find you both."
Harry nodded, "and no talking about the bond unless you are certain that it is only you and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley around."
After Sirius nodded they each grabbed one of his hands and apparated to the Burrow.
They came out staring at the crooked building.
Ginny looked at her old home lovingly. They walked to the kitchen door and Sirius knocked on it hesitantly. He was afraid the house would tip over from his knocking.
Mrs. Weasley answered. "Ginny, Harry!" She said while smiling
"Mum!" Ginny shouted and hugged her mother.
Harry walked over and received one of Mrs. Weasley's bone-crushing hugs.
"How are you both?" She asked
Ginny saw her family behind Mrs. Weasley listening carefully. "I'm doing fine. I was surprised when Harry was staying at Hogwarts over the summer as well. Professor Dumbledore asked him to help teach me since he had excellent marks in his exams. Mr. Black came along and said that a trip home would be good for me and I asked Harry if he wanted to come too."
"Well it's great to see you all," Molly said as they walked into the house
"Thank you Molly," Sirius said as they stepped into the kitchen. It appeared that they had just finished lunch here.
"No trouble, would you like anything to eat?" She asked
"I'm sorry we just finished eating. We were actually going to hold off on the visit but Ginny will be starting lessons tomorrow and it is going to be chaotic." Sirius patted her shoulder.
Ron came up to Harry and smiled, "let's go to my room Harry."
'I'm going to have to go Gin. I'll try not to be long.' Harry thought as he followed Ron up to his room.
Soon it was just Molly, Sirius, and Ginny left in the kitchen. "So how are you really doing Ginny? I know for sure that you are not staying at Hogwarts or else you would have just stayed there. Can you tell me where you are staying?"
"I'm...we're staying at Potter Estate." She said quietly while shifting her gaze away from her mother.
"Potter Estate? Harry doesn't own an estate?" Molly turned to Sirius.
Sirius nodded, "It has been in the family for generations. The last time the house ever had occupants was when Harry's grandparents lived there. I'm the secret-keeper of its location now."
"That is, I mean, that must have been surprising for you both," Molly said.
"It was, but it's very nice there," Ginny said smiling
Molly turned to Sirius, "I'm safe in assuming that they are always supervised correct? And that they will not be sharing a bed."
"Yes they are and no they won't," Sirius said which was a half-truth.
Ginny's face was red by this point.
Sirius laughed at the sight before turning back to Molly. "I can tell you their location and then leave it written on a piece of parchment so Arthur can view it when he gets home from work. Once he has viewed it you must burn the paper."
"Thank you Sirius I would appreciate it." Molly said
Sirius nodded and summoned a piece of parchment, quill, and ink. "Harry and Ginny Potter live at Potter Estate in Dartford, England," he spoke as he wrote. "You will be able to visit now Molly. Warn us though because of the many wards we have up."
"Of course, we will warn you before we come to visit. When can we tell the boys?" Molly asked
Sirius looked towards Ginny who shook her head and spoke, "Not yet Mum. I don't know how they will react, especially Ron. I want the first time you guys come for it to be just you and Dad."
"Alright Ginny dear if that's what you want," Molly said
"Thanks Mum," she whispered as she felt a sharp pain begin to form in her side. "I need to see Harry," she whispered as she stood up.
"So Harry how has it been at Hogwarts during the summer?" Ron asked when they were in his room.
"It's quiet. There's no Malfoy making comments or Snape breathing down your neck. It gets a bit lonely but Sirius and everyone are keeping me company." Harry kept glancing at Ron's door. The room was a sickening orange and the walls were plastered with Chudley Cannon posters.
"It sounds right peaceful mate," Ron said honestly
Harry shrugged. "It is but it gets lonely," Harry lied.
"Well you have Ginny right?" He asked
Harry was staring at his hand and almost saw the ring appear. He hid his hands under his legs. "Yeah she helps it be bearable. She's amazing you know," he whispered the last part by accident and looked at Ron nervously.
'Gin I think I let something slip by accident,' he thought while looking at Ron.
"What do you mean amazing?" Ron asked
Harry looked at Ron with panic in his eyes. He began to feel a familiar pain in his side. "Umm she just seems to know what to say to make me not feel lonely. She always seems to be there."
"Oh well she is nice when she wants to be," Ron said
"When she wants to be?" The pain was growing larger and Harry began to rub his side.
"Yeah she's very scary when she wants to be as well," Ron shrugged
Harry was about to respond when the door opened. "I need to see Professor Potter," Ginny said while looking into the room.
"Yes, Ron I'll be right back," Harry said walking over to her.
Ginny led him into her room and closed the door quietly. 'I thought the pain was going to kill me,' she thought silently.
'I know it was like needles all down my side,' Harry thought hugging her.
He kissed her lightly and looked around her room. It was a light pink and had posters of the Holyhead Harpies. 'So you like the color pink?'
'Yes I do, is that a problem?' Ginny asked.
'No I just never knew what your favorite color was,' he admitted and sat down on her bed. 'I can't believe I almost said too much in front of Ron.'
'Well at least he didn't catch on.' Ginny thought
'Luckily your brother is a bit thick,' he kissed her again and pulled her onto the bed with him.
'Yes it is, that always makes hiding things easier' Ginny thought.
'Nice lie about Hogwarts, Ron believed it so easily,' he smiled as his eyes fell upon her chocolate brown ones.
'Well it just seemed to come out without much thought to it.' Ginny thought.
'We should go somewhere else. Ron may be thick but there is no way he won't notice something if we were found in your room,' Harry thought while pulling Ginny to her feet.
'Can we go see Fred and George first?'
'Sure, what do you need to see them for?' Harry thought curiously.
'To say hello and let them know I'm alright.' Ginny thought while smiling.
Harry nodded and she led them to the twins' door. They knocked and waited for the door to answer.
There was a bang from inside and Fred and George cam out covered in soot. "To much frog liver," George choked out
They walked into Harry and Ginny by accident.
"Well look it's the elusive Snog Birds," Fred said.
"I heard they are rare to see and most commonly found in train compartments, closets, and empty corridors." George continued while walking in a circle around Ginny and Harry.
"Oh ha ha. How are you two?" Ginny asked hugging them.
"Were good little sis. I can't believe Harry is teaching you with Dumbledore. Is the old man mental or has he not read his own text books recently and needs an assistant." the twins laughed.
"As it turns out I am second only to Hermione in my year." Harry said
The twins looked at Harry in shock, "Oh Harry please don't let it be true. Soon you will not enjoy fun and will try to polish your prefect badge every second."
:Are you kidding? I barely pay attention in class, I just sort of go." Harry said awkwardly
"That's good to hear. Maybe while helping Ginny learn she can teach you a thing or two about pranks." Fred and George gave a devilish grin to each other.
"Ginny, you prank?" Harry asked
Ginny blushed and looked down, "I do occasionally when Fred and George need help."
"I never knew that about you." Harry said
Ginny grinned, "There's lots you don't know about me."
"Well I guess I'll learn won't I?"
Ginny grinned, "Why yes you will Professor Potter."
George snickered. "You two are lucky Ron isn't here to hear you flirt," he pointed out as Fred began to laugh too.
"Maybe you should keep your voices down about it," Harry said to Fred and George
They muttered to themselves quietly before turning to Ginny and Harry. "You know what we have now that you two don't?" Fred asked with a devilish grin.
"We have blackmail material for next year my dear brother," George said while staring at Ginny and Harry.
"You wouldn't dare!" Ginny said.
"Again little sister don't ask don't tell. If you try to Bat-Bogey us we may just let some information slip when Ron is around." Fred laughed at Harry's dumbstruck face.
'They aren't serious are they,' he thought silently.
'I think they are in this case' Ginny thought back.
"So, you two, what will it be?" George asked
'We can't let Ron know...' Harry thought.
"Fine no Bat-Bogey's," Ginny said while glaring at Fred and George.
"We will know if you two are plotting against us. We know everything that happens in Hogwarts," the twins said proudly.
Just then Sirius came up the stairs, "How do you know everything that goes on in Hogwarts?"
"We have a really fantastic map of the school," George said not even surprised Sirius was there.
Fred looked up too, "Yes we owe quite a lot to Mr.'s Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs."
"Well, then I guess you should thank me the," Sirius said smirking.
Fred and George looked like they were smacked across the head. "Why would we thank you?"
Sirius grinned widely, "May I see the Marauder's Map?"
Fred and George handed it over, mostly out of curiosity.
Sirius tapped the paper and it began to write.
"Welcome back Mr. Padfoot. Causing mischief again with Prongs?"
Sirius stared at the last word sadly and then wiped the paper clean with a wave of his wand.
Fred and George gasped.
"You're Padfoot?" They asked excitedly
Sirius nodded slowly, "I thought Filch destroyed this back when I was still in school."
"No, he just stuffed it into a drawer in his desk." Fred said
Sirius laughed, "That old fool would have never guessed what it really was." Sirius took a breath and then turned to Ginny and Harry, "I think it is time to go back to school. We don't want Dumbledore to worry too much."
"Yes Professor Black," They said sarcastically.
Sirius put on a dignified pose before snorting. "I think your mom wants to say goodbye Ginny." He led them back into the kitchen.
"Right, let's go," Ginny said.
Mrs. Weasley pulled them both into a tight hug. "Be safe you two. Your father and I will visit in a few days." She turned to Sirius, "I will make sure Arthur sees the paper and then that it is burned."
"Thank you Molly, I hope to see you and Arthur again soon," Sirius said
Sirius grabbed the two and apparated back to Potter Estate. "Well that was enjoyable," he said quietly.
As soon as they left Ron ran into the kitchen. "Did Harry leave Mum?"
"Yes, Dumbledore called them back," Molly said
Ron looked down at the table. "He didn't say goodbye..." His eyes focused on a piece of parchment and he picked it up to read.
"Ronald put that down it's not for you!" Molly said
It was too late though, Ron had already read the parchment. "Mum what is this?" he asked while waving the parchment.
Molly snatched it from him. "Never you mind," She said
"It said Ginny Potter, Mum. What is going on." Ron looked angry now.
"It's not your concern Ronald!"
"But she is my sister! Ever since the bloody chamber her and Harry never talk to anyone else. They just sit there and stare at each other."
"Ron, I can't tell you I swore I would not. Anyway it does not involve you," Molly said
Ron looked at the paper as he mouthed wordlessly, "Mum... it says Ginny Potter." He glared harshly, "What did Harry do to my sister!"
"He didn't do anything to her Ron except make her happy," She said evenly
"I don't like it. She is too young and should not be thinking of boys especially Harry."
"You are not her parent Ron and this is something you have no control over," Molly said.
"Just wait until I get my hands on Harry," Ron muttered while shaking in anger.
"You will not lay a finger on either of them," Molly said sternly.
"But Mum what if Harry hurts her," Ron said.
"Ron I don't think we have to worry about that," She said skeptically.
"I am going to worry though. Can I borrow Errol?" Ron's mind was racing with thoughts of what Harry could be doing to Ginny.
"Why?" Molly asked.
Ron looked at his mother carefully, "I need to send an owl to... Hermione."
"I don't believe you," She said
Ron frowned slightly, "Fine! I want to write to Harry."
"No," She said simply
Ron looked outraged, "Why not? He's my friend."
"I don't think you have anything friendly to say to him right now do you?"
Ron looked down and noticed his hands were trembling, "no and why should I?"
"Because he has done nothing wrong," Molly said.
Ron huffed and stormed back up to his room.
A/N- We thank you for reading again :3 Please read and review. I may try to focus on posting a few more chapters on my story Reestablishment so I possibly may not post another chapter here in a few days. I will be working on them though so do not worry.
